Yep, trust me I was VERY cautious on where my hands were during this entire process. Left one in my pocket and wore rubber shoes. Also had the wife in there just in case something happened to me . Kinda scary I'll admit, but I used common sense and it all went smooth.

That would make it more difficult for someone who wanted to reuse the wires later. __________________ The disadvantages of crab apple trees. In summer, the apples are too sour to pick and eat.
